• Cardiac rhabdomyomas are closely associated with tuberous sclerosis. • Obstructive CRs historically have required surgery. • Use of mTOR inhibitors can cause regression and involution of CRs. • Use of mTOR inhibitors can reduce morbidity/mortality associated with cardiac surgery.

O304 alleviates abdominal aortic aneurysm formation via AMPK/mTOR/MMP pathway activation.
Front Pharmacol
November 2024
Department of Vascular Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Jinzhou Medical University, Jinzhou, Liaoning, China.
Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture is a significant cause of mortality in the elderly population. Despite experimental models identifying promising pharmacological therapies, there is still a lack of pharmacological interventions for AAA prior to surgery. This study aims to evaluate the regulatory role of the novel adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) agonist O304 in AAA formation and explore its underlying molecular mechanisms.

The AAA+ (ATPases associated with a variety of cellular activities) ATPase, Thorase, also known as ATAD1, plays multiple roles in synaptic plasticity, mitochondrial quality control and mTOR signaling through disassembling protein complexes like AMPAR and mTORC1 in an ATP-dependent manner. The Oligomerization of Thorase is crucial for its disassembly and remodeling functions. We show that wild-type Thorase forms long helical filaments , dependent on ATP binding but not hydrolysis.

Department of Cardiac Surgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University, Xiamen, 361000, Fujian, China.
Objective: To investigate the mechanism by which Montelukast inhibits abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) formation through the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway in mice.
Methods: Mice were randomly assigned to the Normal group, Model group, Montelukast group, and Montelukast + compound C (C.C) group.
Current Status of Immunotherapy in Management of Small Bowel Neuroendocrine Tumors.
Curr Oncol Rep
November 2024
Department of Hematology and Medical Oncology, Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University, Atlanta, GA, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - The study reviews current immunotherapy approaches for small bowel neuroendocrine tumors (SBNET) and explores future avenues for better treatment responses
- - Key treatments like somatostatin analogs and mTOR inhibitors are essential, while new applications of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) show promise, though existing immunotherapies have had limited success
- - Increased incidence of SBNET highlights the need for more effective therapies, and further research into the immune microenvironment may uncover new targets for improved patient outcomes
Role of AMBRA1 in mitophagy regulation: emerging evidence in aging-related diseases.

Aging is a gradual and irreversible physiological process that significantly increases the risks of developing a variety of pathologies, including neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, metabolic, musculoskeletal, and immune system diseases. Mitochondria are the energy-producing organelles, and their proper functioning is crucial for overall cellular health. Over time, mitochondrial function declines causing an increased release of harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS) and DNA, which leads to oxidative stress, inflammation and cellular damage, common features associated with various age-related pathologies.
